Images of the card back for Super7’s Hammerhead tribute ALIEN ReAction figure have started to appear online.

I must say I have very mixed feelings about this item. I love the promotional content on the back of the card; and taking advantage of the real estate to reveal the full range of the next ALIEN ReAction figure is very welcome.  On the other hand, there’s a complete lack of any information as to why the figure itself is released in this color scheme.

It’s just a little disappointing Super7 have failed to commit a single line of information to outline its significance.  All they would need to have done is print on the card back “Our tribute to the Classic 1978 action figure used to create the first ALIEN prototype that started it all.”  A single line is all that’s needed to make the figure meaningful.

Sadly, now there’s no context for the figure’s existence and many people will fail to understand it’s greater relevance other than solely being a Star Wars: Power of the Force tribute figure largely due to the presence of the coin, which lacks accuracy.
